Rated for 100 mating cycles, it's built for harness assembly and occasional field service, not a daily-disconnect test port. The gold-plated brass centre contact and PTFE dielectric maintain consistent impedance through the signal path. The zinc die-cast body with tin finish provides RF shielding and corrosion resistance in those environments. ## Code C vs Code D and Code A — What Changes, What Stays the Same The FA1-NCRP-PCB-8 (Code C, blue housing) shares the same 50 Ohm impedance, 6 GHz bandwidth, 0.3 dB insertion loss, and 100-cycle durability with the FA1-NDRP-PCB-8 (Code D, violet/claret housing) and the FA1-NARP-PCB-8 (Code A, black/jet housing). All three are right-angle through-hole SMB Fakra plugs with gold centre contacts and locking ramps. The only selection-relevant difference is the keying code and housing colour — pick the code that matches your harness's Fakra receptacle. A Code C plug will not mate with a Code A or Code D jack, which is the whole point of the colour-coding system.","metaTitle":"Amphenol FA1-NCRP-PCB-8 SMB Fakra Plug, 50 Ohm, 6 GHz","metaDescription":"FA1-NCRP-PCB-8 Amphenol RF connector — SMB Fakra plug, male pin, Code C keying, 50 Ohm, 6 GHz max, 0.3 dB insertion loss, right-angle PCB mount.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["RF / Coaxial Connectors","RF Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol RF","Series":"-","Package":"Box","Features":"Code C","Includes":"2 pcs - 1 Connector, 1 Housing","Impedance":"50Ohm","Body Finish":"Tin","Cable Group":"-","Body Material":"Zinc Die Cast","Housing Color":"Blue, Signal","Mating Cycles":"100","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Plug, Male Pin","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Insertion Loss":"0.3dB","Product Status":"Active","Connector Style":"SMB, Fakra","Frequency - Max":"6 GHz","Number of Ports":"1","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Mounting Feature":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Shield Termination":"Solder","Base Product Number":"FA1-NCRP","Contact Termination":"Solder","Dielectric Material":"Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)","Operating Temperature":"-65°C~125°C","Center Contact Plating":"Gold","Center Contact Material":"Brass"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.9900","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/d070412a21755d7d6c114f893e40ba1f.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the FA1-NCRP-PCB-8 connector type and mounting?","answer":"It's an SMB Fakra plug, male pin, with a right-angle through-hole PCB mount."},{"question":"What is the insertion loss and impedance of FA1-NCRP-PCB-8?","answer":"Insertion loss is 0.3 dB, and the characteristic impedance is 50 Ohm.
